We are having a lot of rain just now so I can identify with these words as yesterday is washed away leaving a little empty feeling inside, much enjoyed, Love Dolly x

Raindrops pounding
the pavement.
Water rising, drowning
a lifetime
of memories.

Such unbearable tragedy. I hope you made it through Christmas and that no one was injured. Sometimes the best memories are the ones that are over. Best wishes for 2222.

drowning a lifetime of memories

What a wonderful image. This really is gifted writing of a few words that makes the whole poem. Well done.
The image you have chosen to go with your words is high impact, and meshes well with your best words and the title.

Hi there,

I liked this piece. It's quite dynamic, good resonance.

I think I'd look at the formatting a bit to give it more impact/drive.

Raindrops...
pounding the pavement

Water rising,

drowning a lifetime of memories

It's a purely subjective thing

Excellent entry for the 20 Syllables writing prompt contest. The imagery and presentation are great. The floods and tornados have destroyed many homes. Good syllables count. Good luck in the contest.

You have expressed the poem so authentically, recently we had the same experience, waterlogged state around our house is improved, raindrops pounding as water level is rising and drowning a lifetime memories; unfortunately, I have lost some valuable documents, books and files in 6 months water-logging state; well said, well done; keep writing. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR typo= losr (loser?)

Ciao ,

This is a very heart breaking poem .

The effect of climate change this year has caused much unwanted floods, storms and hurricanes .

To see one s life earning just destroyed, in minutes sometimes, must be hard to come to terms with, especially at a certain age.

    You now have two votes. I saw you added the R in drowning..


    When I read your poem I saw that but seeing English is not my first language I went and checked and there is a word

    Downing

    which means knock , bring to the ground

    So I thought you meant


    Downing ( knocking , bringing down) a life time of memories .
    Works too.

    So I removed at the end of my review the part where I mentioned you had a typo. .

    Sorry

    Best of luck in the contest.
